Le Soleil Royal by Nek0 - 1/72 - Marc Yeu
CRI-CRI replied to Nek0's topic in - Build logs for subjects built 1501 - 1750
Hi dear modellers ! I think the grey-green patine is not very realistic, a browned color must be more indicated At sea, the bronze get a cooper chloride patine, not a hydro-carbonated one : The guns of Strasbourg (Officer's Mess near Place de la République) are under acid rains, they show the same patine with church's cooper covers En français pour Marc : Cela n'enlève rien à la qualité extraordinaire de cette réalisation, c'est juste une remarque à propos d'un exemple... que je connais bien 😀 Regards Chris- 208 replies
